OPI Be a Dahl-ia Won't You + comparison

Second jewel from the Nice Stems collection, and time to introduce you to a hand you will see now and then in these pages. No, it's not The Thing escaped from the Addams' Family house, it's... Minnie, my sister. She has beautiful hands but cannot wear nail polish at work, so she dives in my stash whenever she has some free time and will be a model for some of my pictures. And maybe a bit more, but we'll see about that ;)

So here comes Be a Dahl-ia Won't You, one of my two favourites. It's a beautiful neon pink with a blue flash and a glass fleck finish that turns it into a wonder! This is three coats over Orly Shield and with Seche Vite on top.

Mmm, OPI bright pink with a blue flash and a glass fleck finish? Yes, I thought too that it might be close to Let Me Entertain You from the Burlesque collection, so I decided to go for a comparison. As a third, I added a polish from Claire's which has no name, just the reference D16.

(Left to right: D16, Be a Dahl-ia, LMEY)(de gauche à droie: D16, Be a Dahl-ia, LMEY)

You can clearly see that Be a Dahl-ia is LMEY's summer flashy cousin but there's absolutely no dupe on the horizon. As for the Claire's polish, it's the same colour with blue flash as Be a Dahl-ia but without the glass fleck finish.
